Sensate

(Adjective)

Definition: Perceiving or perceived by the senses such as when one is immersed in an illusionary, yet sensate, world.

Examples:

• “For me, the benefits are intellectual, emotional and sensate; I’d like others to experience the pleasures that a theoretical appreciation of cinema offers.”

• “The real debate is between those who want to enjoy the fruits of prosperity and those who want an austere existence free from sensate temptation of any kind.”

Origin: Mid 17th century: from late Latin sensatus ‘having senses’, from sensus.
